Holman Automotive was founded in 1924, when Steward C. Holman signed a contract with Ford Motor Company to become the area dealer in Merchantville, NJ. The dealership sold Model T, Model A, and the first V-8 models during its early years. Today, Holman Automotive consists of 38 dealership franchises located throughout the United States. Among the 38 dealership franchises, 14 are due to a recent acquisition of the Kuni Automotive group based out of the Pacific Northwest.
